tagged: crime, coming of age, police procedural
Description

When financier Paul Carignan is hit by a stray bullet and killed in Beaufort, Quebec, the town leaders seem reluctant to investigate. Running out of patience, his teenage sons, Jack and Noah, take justice into their own hands and kidnap the locals they suspect are responsible. Things soon erupt and the boys find themselves besieged in their house with their captives. In the middle is their mother, Catherine, not sure which side to take. For Tom Doran, Beaufort's Deputy Chief of Police, the investigation has just gotten very complicated. One thing's for sure, this sleepy town is in for a fiery shakeup.

Editorial Review

Blindshot is a high-calibre bullet of a book: smart, fast and full of twists. Fans of Linwood Barclay will love this! --Will Ferguson

Long live BLINDSHOT! --Marc Levy, Et si c'était vrai

The book is called BLINDSHOT, but Denis Coupal has written a thriller to be read with eyes wide, wide open. An auspicious debut that will keep you guessing. --Andy Nulman — CEO, Play the Future

Denis Coupal has hit the bull's eye with his BLINDSHOT. With a deep sense of place, an appreciation for both the dark and bright side of rural living, and with two young infectious characters, this book is a thrill from opening shock to surprise ending. --Roy MacGregor — The Globe and Mail

An accomplished debut with a good ear for dialogue. --Tommy Schnurmacher, author, How Vanity Saved my Mother's Life.

Blindshot, a controlled thriller, introduces a strong new voice. When a businessman is shot outside his home, his sons hunt for the truth and find corruption and betrayal. Author Denis Coupal writes, Truth had its price. But, truth in BLINDSHOT remains as elusive as a bullet. --Sheila Kindellan-Sheehan, author, In the Shadows
